The balance grew…

I meant to post this yesterday but I fell asleep at 6:30 last night and woke up at 6:30 this morning!

We made NO progress on the credit card last week. I have a feeling that the first week of each month will be the one that we are unable to make a payment. Hubby gets paid at the end of each month but most of our bills are due within the first 10 days of the month.

$1,266.04 starting balance
+ $12.56 interest

= $1278.60 current balance (19.6% paid)

This week will be much better. I was paid on Friday but I’m waiting for the check to clear the bank. As soon as that clears, I’ll be sending a payment.

Our snowball will also be affected this month as our car wouldn’t start on Sabbath and we found out our battery needed to be replaced. We missed church. That’s another $100 we’ve had to put into the car. Combine the new battery purchase with the new tires and we’ve paid almost $550 into car maintenance in less that two weeks! The beauty of it all is that we have an emergency fund (for the battery; the tires were budgeted) and haven’t had to use the credit cards. God is very good!
